I have this ASP.NET MVC application that I now want to separate out the image links to a CDN. At this moment, images typically have this markup code: <%= Html.ActionLinkWithImage("/Content/Img/Image1.png" ... This works fine in development using the local web server (Cassini), and also when published the prod server. But now I want th...
I have a page that references a couple of externally hosted javascript files - namely, jQuery on Google and YUI using YUI Loader. The trouble is when I access the page via HTTPS the browser complains of mixed insecure content, since the external javascript files are being accessed using http instead of https.

The problem with this is that I don't have control over the expires headers (Rackspace files is what I'm looking into). See, say I h...
Isn't this sort of a thumb-rule? Shouldn't this be served from a cookie-less domain? Serve the following static resources from a domain that doesn't set cookies: * http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js Anyone know any alternative URL that Google would use to by-pass the Cookies? Edit: To anyone seeing...
Hi I know that the usage of Microsoft CDN improves the website performance when talks about .js But what about the images?

Thanks ...

We are using phpThumb to resize images, create thumbnails from the original version stored in a DB We are using a CDN so that thumbnails are cached and we only pay the image processing once per image and per different size.

We're currently pulling jQuery and jQueryUI (and jQueryUI CSS) libraries from the google CDN. I like this because I can call google.load("jquery", "1"); and the latest jQuery 1.x.x will be used. Now I am to pull the libraries locally because of security. I'm happy to pull them locally but I'm wondering what are some of the other benef...
Should I minify/gzip my Jquery with my other scripts on my page, or use Google CDN for Jquery & JQuery UI and gzip my own stuff.
